    Russian influenced the election to help Trump

    The article states that Russian Trolls Helped Elect Trump by influencing the US election.
    Curious in how they influenced the election? As all I saw through out the election was that about 90% of the US news articles and most US news sites were anti Trump with their news and comments. Just curious, where/how was the Russian influence? Ray

      That's the $64,000 question. HOW did the Russians influence the election? If they know, they aren't telling the rest of us!

          Well.... perhaps they used paid agitators like "Red " to get on forums like this and stir the turd... get people worked...

          As far as 90% of US news articles and sites being anti trump ....

          .... do we all forget the 12 + months before he even officially threw his hat in the ring ?? .. The press gave him free advertising just about every single day ....

          awfull lot of free campaign ad time was given to a man who claimed he hadn't decided if he was running or not ...

                  Reminds me of the scene in "The Russians Are Coming." After the sub runs aground, the captain orders some of his English speaking crew members to go ashore to warn the townspeople away, they walk around telling anyone they see-in a movie Russian accent:
                  "Emergency ! Everyone to get from street !"

                          What you are saying then is, the amount of general coverage he had before he decided to run, was as important as that massive negative coverage during the election?? Now I wonder when the Russians came into it?

                              I voted for Trump because of the character of Clinton the Russians had nothing to do with it unless they paid her to be what she is.

                                  Anybody would be better than Clinton. Notice that she did not carry Arkansas -- we used to be her neighbors, and we know her!
